Flower: American Beauty Rose. At thfe beginning of the school year, September 8, 1943, eight stu- dents entered Ranchester High to begin as Sophomores, after strug- gling through a hard year as Freshmen. Their subjects were: Geometry, English II, Biology, and World History. A couple of the Sophomores who have taken one or two of these subjects in previous years are taking several subjects of the Juniors. They have found their classes very interesting and all hope that next year they will all be smiling Juniors. SARCASM (By Georgia and Frances) There is a certain class in school, They’re as stubborn as a mule. This class is always backward and shy, But boy how they make the erasers fly! The sophomores are a studious bunch, For a geometry test they’d miss their lunch. They enjoy their studies so well Sometimes they don’t even hear the bell. Now Burgess, Johnny, that railroad bum, Most people say he’s rather dumb. There’s Weber, Ileene, five by five She sure is good at that stuff called jive. Hallowell, Jared, who likes proposition, To learn them is his life’s ambition. Harris, Frances, that sweet girl, Some day hopes to marry an Earl. Madron, Denzil, the innocent one, Always fond of having his fun, Wants her man short just for a pal. • And that boy called Schreibeis, Ben, Couldn’t keep him from Frances if you put him in a pen.

Freshmen Helen Kawulok Dolores Madron Bert Johnston Gerald Schilling: Dorothy Kawulok Jerry Dierks Jimmy Strait Elaine Kawulok Georgia Lee Burgess Class Colors: Red, White and Blue Motto: “Honesty is the best policy.” Flower: Flowering Cactus. Again, as in former years, the Freshmen marched into the High School ready for four years of work. This year the president of the class was Jerry Dierks, and Gerald Schilling took office as the vice. The secretary and treasurer was filled by Elaine Kawulok while the Student Council representative was Bert Johnston. This Freshman Class was the third largest ever to enter here with ten members. Betty Anderson and Hilda Hauf left at the end of the first semester. During the entire year the rest of the High School was entertained by two parties that the Freshmen were kind enough to give us. INITIATION As usual the Freshmen were again formally brought into the midst of the High School with a day of costumes and entertainment. During the course of the eventful day everyone was fully entertained with an assembly and the jokes that were pulled on the not too happy Freshies. Helen Kawulok, dressed as a dignified gentleman with a monacle and cigar, kept everyone laughing. Dolores looked like something out of this world dressed as a baby, but perhaps brought back memories to some. Nothing could be more complete than Sally Rand, portrayed by Bert, and a good job, we might add. Although no initiation would be complete without some boys dressed as girls and Gerald along with Jerry could not have been better. The rest of the initiation was completed with a scare-crow by Elaine, and Georgia Lee had a suit of old underwear. Dorothy was a mop woman and Jimmy was a girl from the South Seas. Page 24
